Clowns and Angels: Studies in Modern French Literature by Wallace Fowlie is a book that explores the works of some of the most prominent French writers of the 20th century. Fowlie, a renowned scholar of French literature, examines the literary techniques and themes used by authors such as Albert Camus, Jean-Paul Sartre, Andr����� Gide, and Marcel Proust, among others. The book is divided into two parts, with the first section focusing on the theme of the clown in literature. Fowlie discusses how the clown is used as a symbol of social critique and rebellion in the works of authors like Camus and Samuel Beckett. He also examines the use of humor and irony in their writing to convey serious messages.The second section of the book focuses on the theme of the angel in literature. Fowlie explores how writers such as Gide and Antoine de Saint-Exup�����ry use the angel as a symbol of purity and transcendence. He also discusses how the concept of the angel is used to explore themes of spirituality and morality in their writing.Throughout the book, Fowlie provides insightful analysis and interpretation of the works of these influential French writers. Clowns and Angels is a must-read for anyone interested in modern French literature and the themes that have shaped it.Includes References To Proust, Gide, Mauriac, Leon Bloy, Claudel And More.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
